Today I’m really excited to share the Darling Ranges dress as part of the Sew My Style project hosted by Bluebird Fabrics. Sew My Style is a year long project featuring a different pattern every month. I’ve been popping in here and there with my own makes as time permits. I made a point of making time for this dress though because I’ve had the pattern printed out for at least two years. It’s been in my queue for ages but somehow never makes it to the cutting table.
Today’s handmade outfit was unabashedly inspired by this photo from Charlie. After seeing it on Instagram, I just couldn’t get it out of my head. I wanted to wear that outfit everyday and my wardrobe did not supply the garments. So with some fabric, thread and a little bit of sweat, I now have my very own camisole + wide legged pant outfit.
Months ago, I paired this gorgeous floral linen to the Dove Blouse pattern and wrote it down in my Colette sewing planner. Whenever I flipped through the planner, I'd see this project and feel that I had made the right pairing but for whatever reason, I wasn't ready to sew it yet. With the days getting longer and flowers seemingly everywhere, I feel like spring has truly arrived and summer is right on its heels. So, my focus has returned to all things pretty, lightweight and summer appropriate.
